•Best trait: She can sleep in late.

•Personality: She likes to know what's going on.

•A funny story: She often will look for my mom's Pekingese, "Lulu," and then they try to fight each other through the door. One time they got to actually be next to each other and were both stunned that they had made physical eye contact and froze. Luckily we were able to separate before it got confrontational. Bree gets along with most dogs except "Lulu."

•Comments: She had cancer removal surgery and treatment and has bounced back really well. Her "grandma" made her a pink Halloween costume as she is a cancer survivor. We rescued her from the Humane Society in October 2005 after she was found near center city Allentown. Now she lives in South Whitehall with plenty of yard, trees and critters to chase.
